Day 4 - London

…up and at ‘em. Both of us had decent sleeps, again, and headed out just after 9. The HoHo is not allowed to drive by Buckingham Palace so we didn’t see it yesterday and I felt very strongly that I couldn’t visit London without seeing the palace soooo we walked there. Lovely walk down the Mall towards the gates, passing St James Gardens. After a few pics, we walked alongside the Green Park and then over to Hyde Park where we saw the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain - nice enough but rather understated we thought. We had a 2 day pass for the HoHo so hopped back on and went clear across to the other side. Took us almost 2 hours to go maybe 8km and good thing we left when we did cuz we were hoping to catch the Jack the Ripper tour which took us by the locations where 5 women were brutally murdered between August 31st and November 9, 1888. Our guide was extremely animated and knowledgeable and aside from the subject matter, it was a very interesting tour. Quick bite to eat and then back on the HoHo for a spectacular night tour around the city, again with a very knowledgeable and animated guide. Figured we hadn’t done enough walking, haha, and regular hoho stops running around 6:00pm, so walked back to the flat in Kings Cross, guessing about another 4km for the day. Neither one of us put on our map my run to keep track.Read more
